Doctor Who stars new detective series Cooper & Fry confirms start date – and its soon

It's the perfect time of year to get caught up in a brand new drama, so it couldn't be better timing that Cooper & Fry is landing on our screens sooner than we initially thought.

The series is now been confirmed to be launching on 5 on Tuesday 18th November at 8pm, with episodes airing weekly.

    Leading the cast are two fan-favourite TV stars – former Doctor Who companion Mandip Gill and Downton Abbey's Rob James-Collier, who play the show's leading mismatched detective duo.

    The official synopsis for the series reveals: "Set in the mystery-shrouded Peak District, DC Ben Cooper, an affable local, is thrown together with guarded newcomer DC Diane Fry, to investigate a string of mysterious deaths."

    Based on the bestselling novels by author Stephen Booth, Cooper & Fry will be made up of four two-hour episodes, each based on a different novel in the series: Black Dog, Dying to Sin, Blind to the Bones and Dancing with the Virgins.

    The series was announced alongside a number of new commissions for 5, which also included psychological drama The Family Secret and France-set thriller Missed Call.

    "From brand new thrillers and character-driven mysteries to the much-anticipated return of audience favourites, we’re continuing to build a rich and distinctive drama offering."
